[INTRO]

So hold me close

So hold me close

So hold me close right now

I don’t know where

I don’t know when

I don’t know why or how

[VERSE 1]

I can still draw your eyes from memory

And they see right through me

Leaving nowhere

Dreaming in black and white

I didn’t recognize the signs

[Chorus 1]

So hold me close

So hold me close

So hold me close right now

I don’t know where

I don’t know when

I don’t know why or how

You’ve got me held

You’ve got me held

Up in the palm of your hand

And when you let go

I will crumble

Through your fingers like sand

[VERSE 2]

It’s easier to walk away

Than having me convince you to stay, to stay, to stay

Trust me, I get that

I don’t blame you when you don’t call back

I just need you holding me tight tonight

[Chorus 2]

So hold me close

So hold me close

So hold me close right now

I don’t know where

I don’t know when

I don’t know why or how

You’ve got me held

You’ve got me held

Up in the palm of your hand

And when you let go

I will crumble

Through your fingers like sand

[BRIDGE]

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh

Hold me close, hold me close, hold me closer

[Chorus 3]

So hold me close

So hold me close

So hold me close right now

I don’t know where

I don’t know when

I don’t know why or how

You’ve got me held

You’ve got me held

Up in the palm of your hand

And when you let go

I will crumble

Through your fingers like sand

[OUTRO]

(So hold me close, so hold me close, so hold me close right now)

Now all I am is sand

(I don’t know where, I don’t know when, I don’t know why or how)

Now all I am is sand

(You’ve got me held, you’ve got me held, you’ve got me held up in the palm of your hand)

Now all I am is sand

And when you let go

I will crumble

Through your fingers like sand
